Hampton (Middlesex)
Sheridan Place in Hampton is named after Dame Ann Sheridan, who purchased in 1804 what later became the Beveree estate.
'SHERIDAN PLACE – which leads past Twickenham Preparatory School and Beveree House is built on part of the old Beveree Estate. Sheridan Place recalls the name of a previous owner of the site, Lady Ann Sheridan, who bought it in 1804. It would appear that Lady Ann – married to Sir Henry Sheridan, was, together with her husband, a part owner of the Mount Hindmost Estate in Jamaica – in other words, she was a slave owner – the estate produced sugar, rum and cattle.'
